| During this visit they also decided to build a new tailplane and new control surfaces. |
|
| Other factors such the lift provided by the fuselage, tailplane and control surfaces, were ignored. |
|
| This consisted of the standard scheme with the addition of yellow and orange stripes to the rear of the fuselage and tailplane. |
|
| The cantilever all-metal tail has a hydraulically powered rudder and single-piece all-moving tailplane. |
|
| The fuselage is of light metal construction and parts of the tailplane are of composite structure in order to reduce radar signature. |
|
| The vertical tailplane on C-GBHZ was an original component of the aircraft. |
|
| Installing the tailplane is now extremely simple: first roughen the joint surface of the integral root fairings using coarse abrasive paper. |
|
| If a sufficient amount of ice accumulates on the tailplane with certain aircraft configurations, ICTS can occur. |
|
| There is no direct evidence of ice being observed on the aircraft wings or tailplane after landing. |
|
| In addition, the entire tailplane is a cantilever, variable-incidence structure that is operated electrically. |
|
| Aircraft with significant tailplane icing can experience tailplane stalls, which can lead to steep nose-down descents. |
|
| When the resin has started to cure, press the parts together finally, clean the area once more and tape the tailplane panels to the fuselage. |
|
| Carefully slide the tailplane through the slots in the tail end of the fuselage from the side. |
|
| At this point fit both tailplane panels into the fuselage, align them carefully and leave the epoxy to cure fully. |
|
| Remember to leave about 2 mm free of film at the root of the tailplane panels, so that the resin has a sound surface for adhesion. |
|
| The stabiliser, the horizontal surface on the tailplane, is jammed. |
|
| Mark the outline of the fuselage on the tailplane and fin. |
|
| The idea is that Solar Impulse will take off and fly under its own power using electricity from the 11,628 solar cells covering the upper surfaces of its wings and tailplane. |
|
| In the same manner that an aircraft requires stabilizers, such as a tailplane with elevators as well as wings, a boat requires a keel and rudder. |
|
| That plane is subject to a problem in bad weather called tailplane icing, in which the airplane's tail, which applies downward pressure at the back of the plane and holds the nose up, suddenly ceases to function. |
|
|
|
| Mr Howes's boat has a more conventional wing and tailplane acting as a sail, attached to the foil by a long crossbeam from which is suspended the hull carrying the lone pilot. |
|
| From above, it resembles an aircraft complete with wings and a tailplane. |
|
| Therefore, it is concluded that the tailplane did not stall. |
|
| Airframe de-icing is provided by inflatable rubber boots bonded to the leading edges of the tailplane, the vertical fin, and the wings outboard of the nacelles. |
|
| The biggest challenge was to determine drag because it is provided not only by wings, but also by fuselage and tailplane. |
|
| It was determined that an ice-contaminated tailplane stall did not occur. |
|
| Sometimes there may be two or more fins, spaced out along the tailplane. |
|
| The partially rebuilt VC10, given the name of Victoria Cross recipient Kenneth Campbell, had its outer wings, fin, tailplane and engines refitted at Cosford. |
|
| There are over 17,200 solar cells on the plane's upper wing surface, fuselage and tailplane that collect the sun's energy which powers the engines. |
|
| The Libyan flag was still visible on the tailplane amid the wreckage. |
